Mcafee finally released Patch 4 from VSE 8.8 which should solve the Installation with same Patch on Windows XP, W7, W8, W8.1 and full Server range from 2003-2012R2 in one package.
Mcafee has drilled down some Options or sensitivity: Cookies Scan default removed, Buffer overflow protection removed, Artemis (GTO) scoped down to lower level on Windows 8 and Server 2012R2. Reason for this is not mentioned but maybe too much problem or to slow?
Well finally we have one package for MOST of the target OS like Windows XP and W7/W8. Finally a few months before the Windows XP END Date in April 2014.
The merge from mcafee > Intel maybe just made too much trouble and people leaving or changing around…
